Ultra Marathon?
Hi All, just wondering if anyone here has run in an ultra marathon? If so, how did you find the run? (was it the worst decision of your life, or did you love it and wish there were more events like that around?) How early did you start training? Does it take months, years to train if you're a marathon competitor? Any info…

Trying to expand my horizons with fish....
Hi All, so I'm not a huge fan of fish- I'll eat it if I have to but outside of plain ole Sole, Tilapia or Mahi Mahi (you know, fish filets that take on other flavours easily) I don't enjoy eating fish very much. A can of tuna or salmon makes my face crinkle with disgust. But in my scholarly pass-time of googling nutrition…

Mayo- how much do you eat in a day?
Hi everyone, just wondering how much mayo (homemade or bought) people eat in a day or in a week? It seems like I'm eating a lot of homemade mayo (bacon fat mayo!) but it fits my macros, doesn't have any junk in the recipe and makes things taste better :) (cue Queen's, "Don't Stop Me Now") Thanks!

How Many Grams of Protein Do You Eat Each Day?
Hi All, Wondering how much protein do you eat each day? For those eating 100+ grams of protein each day what are you eating? Anyone consuming higher amounts of protein doing so without whey powder?

Protein and Exercise
Hi everyone! I've really started to ramp up my strength training as well as continuing with my leisurely cardio (I try not to be chronic but I really do enjoy sprinting and running) but I'm not sure about protein requirements of someone who is regularly exercising 4x a week. I see some calculators indicate that a person…

Another Record Cold Winter is Approaching...
Hi All, so where I live it gets ridiculously cold (minus 45 degrees celsius, high winds and snow for weeks on end) Last year we had plenty of near-record breaking days for coldest day and highest wind-chill, ie- minus 50. SHUDDER! The only saving grace is that I'm south enough that animal encounters are slim to none in the…

Help! Kefir Water/Kefir Coconut Milk...
Hi Everyone, After scouring through the internet/blogs/andwhatnot, it seems that kefir water/milk has benefits, but isn't really paleo, but some people still encourage it because of it's probiotic benefits, and others say, "Ne" as it isn't paleo being made from grains and all. So I want to hear from you! Do you make and/or…

Because of Paleo I can't fit in to my wedding dress...
That's right, I'm getting married in 6 weeks- when I bought my wedding dress it didn't zip up- there was talking of putting in a panel of fabric so it could be laced up and close. On Wednesday I had my 1st fitting and my dress is too big, it has to be taken in or else it fall off!! Glad I stumbled across this way of…

(I'm…

Looking for deviled egg recipes
Hi All, So I've never really cared for deviled eggs and I've recently figured out why- my mom has always over-cooked them so they get that awful green ring and the yolks are left chalky. So while cruising the net I came across this gem: http://altonbrown.com/baked-eggs/ I'm now inspired to try hard-boiled eggs again but…

How much Veg Do You Eat/Day?
Hi All, Just curious how much veg. Paleo/Primal peeps are eating a day. I feel like I'm not eating enough but then again maybe it's just portion distortion for me- I average about 3 cups of salad greens or spinach plus 2 more like a bell pepper and 6-8 spear of asparagus for example. How much do you eat in a day? Thanks…

Fitbit vs Treadmill's display of calories burned
Hi All I'm just wondering if anyone else is finding a rather large discrepancy between what the treadmill or other cardio machine says you've burned vs your fitbit? Last night I jogged lightly on the treadmill for about 25min. The treadmill displayed that I burned about 270 calories; my fitbit says I burned 385. Which do…

Primal vs Keto- which suited you better?
Hi All, Happy New Year!! So I'm wondering (for those of you who have eaten primal and keto at point) which did you like better? Which made more sense to you? Why? Was it the high fat? The fruit? The dairy? The science/theory behind it? Just curious- I'm having a mild existential food-crisis in finding the balance of what…
